Marine Arrested After Pushing Teens Off 15-Foot Cliff in Fight: PD

Officials are investigating the fight between four people.

A Marine has been arrested after two women were pushed off a seaside cliff in a bizarre fight in San Diego's North County, officials said. 

Carlsbad Police were investigating the fight between four people, including two Camp Pendleton Marines, just before 1 a.m. Tuesday along Carlsbad Boulevard near Cerezo Drive.

Bradley Huston, 20, who lives at Camp Pendleton, was arrested at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday for assault with a deadly weapon and battery causing serious injury. He was booked into the Vista Detention Facility. 

Officials say one of the Marines pushed both a 17-year-old and 18-year-old down a 10- to 15-foot cliff to the beach below.

The 18-year-old adult suffered undetermined injuries but declined medical transport. The juvenile girl suffered serious but non-life threatening injuries and was taken to Scripps Medical Center in La Jolla. 

The Marines involved were 20- and 21-years-old and walked from the scene before emergency crews arrived, officers said.

Officers contacted Camp Pendleton Provost Marshall and investigators subsequently arrested Huston. 

Investigators said they were not sure what the fight was about or if the group knew each other before the incident. The group was believed to have been intoxicated before the fight, officers said.

The investigation is ongoing.
